Sidurgu of the Obsidian Heart

Early life

One of the many refugees from Doma in the wake of Garlean occupation, a young Sidurgu and his family found their way to Ishgard. Due to misconceptions of Au Ra being of Dravanian descent, they were slaughtered indiscriminately. Sidurgu was made to watch his parents die, but before the sword could find his own neck, he was saved by the one who would become his master, the first of the dark knights. The atrocities he experienced at the hands of the Holy See tempered Sidurgu's will, and with his master's teachings, he learned to turn his hatred for the Temple Knights into a power he could use to protect the weak. His master, Ompagne Deepblack found another boy named Fray who would also tread the path of a Dark Knight. He taught the boys how to do great things with their abilities and when the city became too much, he took Sid and Fray to places like Moghome to enjoy the quiet and peace.

Ompagne tested the boys in the dark arts harshly and was always fond of testing their abilities. At some point in time Ser Ompagne was defeated in combat and with his final words, mentioned the flame in the abyss to his two students before passing. Sid gathered his master's sword and armor and placed it in his armoire until he proved worthy of his masters blade.
